might try a new thing where i discipline myself into using hashtags as a pseudo-category thing at the beginning of my posts here so as to make better use of the featured hashtags feature... if i can keep up doing that

the thing that bothers me though is that i don't particularly want to opt-in to the other behaviors of the hashtag for my public posts. i just want categories like how Google+ Collections worked, but i don't want to make one account per feed/category
